Audit the Future: Become a Certified ISO 42001 Lead Auditor

Description

Gain the skills to assess, verify, and lead AI governance audits in a world demanding transparency and trust.

Artificial Intelligence is no longer just powering products — it's reshaping entire industries. But while innovation accelerates, so do expectations around accountability, ethics, and oversight. Organisations are under growing pressure to prove that their AI systems are safe, fair, and in line with global best practices.

That’s where you come in.

ISO 42001 is the world’s first internationally recognised standard for Artificial Intelligence Management Systems (AIMS). And as a certified ISO 42001 Lead Auditor, you'll be equipped to evaluate whether these systems are implemented, maintained, and managed in accordance with this cutting-edge framework.

In partnership with PECB, OHS.com.au proudly offers the ISO 42001 Lead Auditor training — a five-day, expert-led program that prepares you to plan, conduct, and lead audits that ensure AI systems meet rigorous global standards.

Why ISO 42001 Auditing Matters

AI decisions can have massive implications — from financial risk to ethical failures. As AI becomes embedded in everything from healthcare to hiring, the need for independent, qualified auditors is urgent.

ISO 42001 sets the benchmark for what responsible AI looks like. But it takes trained professionals to assess whether organisations truly meet that benchmark. With this certification, you'll be able to:

• Evaluate the conformity of AI systems to ISO 42001

• Identify gaps and recommend corrective actions

• Lead audit teams with confidence and credibility

• Help organisations mitigate legal and reputational risk

• Certify your expertise with a credential recognised worldwide

What You'll Learn:

This five-day (approx. 40-hour) course provides deep, practical training on how to assess AI governance against ISO 42001. Through case studies, real-world exercises, and interactive sessions, you’ll master:

• The structure, requirements, and intent of ISO 42001

• Key audit principles in the context of AI governance

• Risk assessment, bias detection, and ethical compliance frameworks

• Techniques for evidence gathering, audit planning, and report writing

• Managing an end-to-end AI audit aligned with ISO 19011 and ISO/IEC 17021-1

• Applying PECB’s AMS2 Methodology for audit execution

You’ll finish the course prepared to conduct internal or third-party audits of AI systems — with the skills to ensure fairness, transparency, and compliance in every AI deployment.

Learning Format:

• 5-day intensive course (available online or in-person)

• 500+ pages of comprehensive training materials

• Daily quizzes and practical exercises based on realistic AI audit scenarios

• Real-time instruction from certified experts

• Final certification exam (with one free retake if needed)
